Background and approach
Lisa also works with people dealing with trauma, grief, intimacy concerns, and self-esteem struggles. Her background includes long experience in addiction treatment and work with family conflict, codependency, and issues tied to guilt and shame.

She uses elements from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work to support lasting change. Lisa describes her style as warm and down-to-earth with a direct, encouraging manner when needed. She mixes a sense of humor with realistic steps so people leave sessions with clear actions to try.
Her goal is to help people build coping skills and restore a greater sense of control in daily life. People who prefer a collaborative and practical approach may find her helpful.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Existential Therapy helps people face big life questions and find meaning in change; this can assist those coping with loss, major transitions, or feelings of emptiness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while committing to values-based actions, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and avoidance patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the session on the person's experience by offering empathic listening and support to clarify goals and strengthen self-trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to identify which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasize meaning-focused conversations, acceptance skills, or practical behavioral changes based on how the client responds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work. Video calls let people have longer face-to-face conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, tools between sessions, or ongoing support without scheduling a full call. These options make it simpler to fit counseling into a busy routine or to continue care when travel or time constraints arise.
